Ted Danson as Laverne's fireman boyfriend... I'm not always a fan of when sitcoms turn serious, but this episode was really well-acted, etc.

Jay also played the DJ in the "Do The Carmine" episode from the final season where Carmine becomes a sensation.

Anyway, my vote goes to Henry Winkler, who played (who else?) the Fonz.

I remember when i saw that episode during it's first run when i was a kid. It totally threw me for a loop that they killed off a character in a comedy show. It was a powerful ep, but i found it really disturbing at the time.

I forgot about Fabian. He still looked pretty good when he did the show.

Any episode where Carole Ita White guest-starred. She was great as Rosie Greenbaum and her fights with Laverne were priceless...

I agree, she was my favorite too. It's too bad they didn't have her on the show more often.

Yes, Carol as Rosie was great... she seemed to be around a lot in season 2, but it's too bad that she stopped coming by in later seasons...

Also, while I wasn't a huge fan of the episode itself, I thought that Carrie Fisher was good in the California episode that had her and Laverne dressing up as playboy bunnies.

Vicki Lawrence's original appearance as Sgt. Plout also was great, IMO.

There was also an episode where Peter Noone of Hermans Hermits played a rock star called London. Him & another fellow invited the girls to a big Hollywood party. This was a very funny episode.

Funnier still is that the "other fellow" is Eric Idle from Monty Python! Guest star wise, Penny Marshall called in a lot of favors in the last few years of the show!

Carrie was so beautiful in that episode! Hugh Hefner was a guest in that one as well.

I also watched the Charles Grodin episode recently. Not bad at all, but not really noteworthy either I guess.
